How playlist pitching works

The process

NotNoise playlist pitching is a human-powered service. Your music is pitched to real people we know and have vetted: no bots, no automated submissions, no fake engagement, no pay-for-placement schemes.

Step 1: We listen

Our A&R team listens to your track end-to-end. They map the vibe, tempo, production style, and reference points. This isn't a checkbox exercise. They need to understand your music to pitch it effectively.

Step 2: We hand-pick curators

From a vetted curator network, we select the ones most likely to genuinely enjoy your track. Curators are selected based on genre match, playlist mood, and listener demographics.

Step 3: We pitch personally

Your track is pitched to each curator individually with a personalized message. This isn't mass email. Each pitch explains why this specific track fits this specific playlist.

Step 4: We report back, with next steps

You receive a transparent report with: which curators were pitched, who placed your track, who declined, and their feedback. On top of that, the A&R team turns everything the curators said into actionable next steps, so you know exactly what to apply to your next song to raise its chances of landing more placements and more plays.

Why doing this safely matters

Playlist pitching is a crowded, messy space. A lot of services run on bots, fake playlists, and bought engagement, and the streaming platforms are penalizing that harder every year: streams from artificial playlists can be removed, and tracks caught in fake-engagement schemes can be taken down entirely.

That's why NotNoise only pitches to vetted, real curators and reports every outcome honestly. Slower than a bot farm, but your catalog stays safe, and the listeners you gain are real.

Timeline

Typically 7 to 14 days from campaign start to final report. Results come in as curators respond, so you may see placements before the campaign officially ends.
